1994 NATIONAL HEALTH INTERVIEW SURVEY
Disability Phase I Public Use Data File
Background
In the United States there are an estimated 35-43 million people
with physical and mental disabilities. The Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA), which was signed into law in July, 1990,
is one of the catalysts prompting legal and policy reforms in the
area of disability. However, policy-relevant data on disability
needed to understand its many aspects and impacts is either very
limited or nonexistent, particularly on a national level.
In an effort to meet some of these data needs, four federal
offices (Office of the Assistant Secretary for Planning and
Evaluation, Health and Human Services; Office of Supplemental
Security Income, Social Security Administration (SSA); Office of
Disability, SSA; Bureau of Maternal and Child Health, Health
Resources Administration) planned several national surveys about
various aspects of disability in the early 1990's.
Since many of their interests overlapped, these agencies decided
to merge their efforts into developing one survey to be included
with the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)for two
consecutive years. As plans for this survey evolved, other
organizations with an interest in disability participated
including:
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, DHHS
Administration on Developmental Disabilities, DHHS
Administration on Aging, DHHS
Disability Prevention Program, CDC
National Center for Medical Rehabilitation Research, NICHD
Center for Mental Health Services, SAMHSA
Rehabilitation Services Administration, Dept. of Education
National Institute for Disability and Rehabilitation
Research, Dept. of Education
Office of Research and Demonstrations, Health Care
Financing Administration
Office of Research and Statistics, SSA
Bureau of Transportation Statistics, DoT
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation
Survey Goals and Objectives
One important goal of the NHIS Disability Survey (NHIS-D) was to
develop a series of questionnaires that would provide a useful
set of measures while maintaining a balance between the social,
administrative, and medical considerations involved in disability
measurement. The NHIS-D is not limited to one definition of
disability; therefore, it will allow analysts from varying
programs to combine data items in different ways to meet specific
agency or program needs. It is designed to collect data that can
be used to understand disability, to develop public health
policy, to produce simple prevalence estimates of selected health
conditions, and to provide descriptive baseline statistics on the
effects of disabilities.
Questionnaire Development and Data Collection Methods
Given such broad objectives for the NHIS-D, it was apparent very
early in the planning process that it would be impossible to
collect all of the data needed about disability in one interview.
Thus, it was decided to use a two phase data collection plan with
a series of disability questionnaires.
Development of these questionnaires involved extensive input from
federal agencies as well as consultants from the research
community. Drafts of the questionnaires were reviewed by an
outside panel of experts from the academic and private research
community. Questionnaires were also tested extensively in the
NCHS Questionnaire Design Research Laboratory and in field tests.
NHIS-D Phase I: The Phase I Disability questionnaire was
administered at the same time as the NHIS Core, and collected
information about all members of the NHIS households. For more
information about the NHIS Core, please refer to the two
publications cited at the end of this document (1,2). As with
the NHIS Core, the NHIS-D Phase I questions were answered by any
available adult in the household who was knowledgeable about the
health of other household members. The Phase I questionnaire
collected basic data on disability and was used as a screening
device to determine eligibility for the second phase of the
survey.
Although the NHIS-D Phase I questionnaire collected information
on persons of all ages, for children, a broader perspective on
disability was taken. In addition to impairments, information
was also collected on children with chronic illness or special
health needs. In order to examine these issues in detail, the
Phase I questionnaire had 3 sections exclusively for children: a
section on special health needs of children, a section on special
education services for children, and a section on early childhood
development for children under 5 years of age.
Because of the low frequency of occurrence of disabilities within
the noninstitutionalized civilian population, Phase I of the
NHIS-D was fielded over a two year period from 1994 through 1995;
only the first year of Phase I data is included here. The sample
size in 1994 for Phase I was 107,469 persons.
NHIS-D Phase II: Eligibility for the second phase of the NHIS-D
(termed the "Disability Followback Survey or DFS") was based not
only on responses to the Phase I questionnaire, but also on
responses to other parts of the NHIS on activity limitation and
receipt of disability benefits. The specific inclusion criteria
for Phase II are summarized in the table at the end of this
document. These sample selection criteria were applied to the
unedited data from Phase I. Interviewing for Phase II began in
August 1994 and should be completed in 1997. The data from the
DFS will be released separately from Phase I. Therefore only a
brief description of this second phase is included here.
There are 4 DFS questionnaires: one for children, one for adults,
one for elderly persons (69 years of age and older) without any
indication of disability (also called the Supplement on Aging or
SOA), and one for persons with a past history of polio.
For children in Phase II, additional information was collected on
utilization and need for services, functional assessment,
including emotional and behavioral development, and the impact of
the child's disability on the family. The respondent for this
component was the parent or the adult in the household who knew
the most about the selected child's health.
For adults, the Phase II questionnaire obtained more extensive
information about the persons with disabilities on issues such as
employment, use of services and benefits, transportation and
personal assistance needs, housing characteristics, environmental
barriers, and participation in social activities. The respondent
for the Phase II Adult questionnaire was the individual defined
from the Phase I interview whenever possible.
Since disabilities increase with age, detailed information on
older persons, even those currently not experiencing any type of
disability, is needed for planning purposes. The SOA
questionnaire included a number items identical or similar to
those on the Adult DFS questionnaire since many of the topics are
very relevant to the elderly population. In most cases, these
older adults responded for themselves.
The Polio Questionnaire collected additional information about
the symptoms and impact of the illness at the time of initial
diagnosis of polio and at various times after the diagnosis.
Information on current health problems was also obtained.
Whenever possible, self response by the polio survivor was
required for this component.
Of the 107,469 persons covered in the 1994 NHIS-D Phase I,
approximately 28,000 persons were identified for follow up in
Phase II.

Center for Health Statistics}
Content of the 1994 NHIS-D Phase I data files
Information collected with the NHIS-D Phase I questionnaire has
been organized into two data files.
1. Disability Phase I Person File* - this file contains
information about each person in the NHIS-D Phase I sample.
Topics covered in this file include:
Sensory, Communication, and Mobility
Vision, hearing, mobility aids - all ages
Communication, understanding, learning - age 5+
Dizziness, balance, ringing in ears, sense of
smell + taste - age 18+
Developmental Disability Conditions(includes polio)-all ages
Disability
Activities of daily living (ADL) - age 5+
Instrumental activities of daily living (IADL) - age 18+
Functional limitation - age 18+
Mental health - age 18+
Services and benefits - age 18+
Special health needs of children - primarily age under 18
Early child development - questions vary by specific age
under 5
Education - two sets of questions for those age 3-17 and those
under 3
Relationship to respondent - age under 18
Perceived disability - all ages
2. Disability Phase I Condition File - This file contains
detailed information on each condition reported as being related
to certain disabilities. There are 29 places in the NHIS-D Phase
I questionnaire that ask for the name of the main condition
causing that health problem, impairment, limitation, or
disability. Each of these 29 items is considered a "source",
that is, a source from which a condition name emanated. In most
*In the documentation accompanying the tape release, this file is
entitled the Disability Phase 1 Public Use File.
cases, only one attributable condition be accepted. The
reported condition could be one that was mentioned in the NHIS
Core or it could be first mentioned in the NHIS-D. Information
about each condition mentioned, regardless of its source, is
contained in this file. The file structure is similar in format
to the NHIS Core Condition File.
The structure of these two files is given below.

Person record for responding individual 1-200
Weight fields 201-223
Overall match code field 401
Condition variable fields 402-443
Disability Source match fields 444-473
This file contains detailed data for each condition from the NHIS
Core or NHIS-D Phase I that appears to be related to one or more
reported disability sources. It also contains information from
Core condition records which were reported as causing limitation
of activity in Core and were not specifically identified as a
cause of disability with the NHIS-D Phase I questionnaire. When
the reporting of a disability also required the reporting of a
causal condition AND one condition could be identified as a
likely cause, a subset of the data from the Disability Condition
File was copied onto the Disability Person File. ICD coding of
reported conditions was done following the procedures used for
coding of conditions reported in the NHIS Core.
The disability source match fields in locations 444-473, identify
whether or not a person reported that particular disability,
whether that condition is related to that disability
source, and if related, how close the match is (see below for
more details on matching conditions with disability sources).
Matching the conditions to the sources on the NHIS-D Phase I:
The process of matching condition records to the specific
disability sources reported in the NHIS-D was complex. In the
NHIS-D Phase I questionnaire when a condition was mentioned as
causing a health problem, impairment, limitation, or disability
the following items were noted by the interviewer:
- the name of the condition
- the question number from which the condition name was
generated (i.e., its source)
- whether the condition was previously mentioned during the
NHIS Core interview and if so, its Core condition record
number
- whether the condition was first mentioned in the NHIS-D
and if so, the condition letter from Section M in the Phase
I questionnaire (i.e., the location on the questionnaire
where detailed information was recorded for that condition).
Because these items were not always entered completely and/or
correctly, and because respondents were sometimes unable to
select just one condition as the main cause for each source, it
was not always possible to definitively match one condition with
a specific source. Therefore, it was necessary to develop a
hierarchical code to indicate the quality of the match. For the
various matching situations, the following coding scheme was
developed and is summarized in loc 401 on the Disability Phase I
Condition File. A similar coding scheme was used for each of the
source-specific match fields (locations 444-473).
- "0" indicates that some other condition is a better match
{Found only in the source-specific match fields, locations
444-473}
- "1" indicates a perfect match
- "2" indicates match is an "extra" volunteered condition
- "3" indicates match is not perfect but good (may be the
only existing condition record)
- "4" indicates no good match for a source but match is
possible
- "5" indicates a match for one mental health condition
source but the ICD code is out of the expected range
- "6" indicates no disability match; condition causes
limitation of activity (reported only in Core) {Found in loc
401 only}
- "7" {Found only on the Disability Phase I Person File to
indicate no condition records are present for that person}
If the match was perfect, one condition was clearly attributed to
a source. Any condition with at least 1 source code match of 1
will have location 401 was coded as 1. A code of 3 was assigned
when some information was missing but one condition could be
identified as the most likely match. This code was also used if
the person had more than one source but only one condition
record. In cases where multiple conditions were reported for one
source, an attempt was made to select one condition as the "best"
match. Preference for selecting this "best" match was dependent
on where the condition was first reported and whether it was
chronic or acute. The "best" match condition was assigned a code
of 3 and all the extra conditions were assigned a code of 2 for
that source. If there was no way to identify one particular
condition as the "best" match for a source, all such conditions
were given a code of 4. This was most likely to happen when
there were multiple chronic conditions but no direct link to any
source due to interviewer error, or the respondent insisted on
giving multiple conditions as the cause of a particular problem
despite interviewer attempts to elicit a singular cause.
For conditions attributed to mental health sources, a limited set
of ICD codes was expected. If all of the interviewer notations
mentioned above were complete for a particular condition but the
ICD code was outside the expected range, the source match code
was assigned a 5. When multiple condition records existed for a
specific source, the same procedure was used for mental health
sources as for all other sources as described above. An attempt
was made to identify the best match having an expected mental
health related ICD code which was assigned a 3; all other
conditions were assigned code 2.
The final match problem occurred when persons had one or more
disability sources but no condition records were generated either
in the core interview or the NHIS-D. Some of these cases may have
been data entry errors but most are interviews which were
terminated before detailed condition information was collected
near the end of the Phase I interview (section M). The code of 7
was reserved for this situation and appears only on the
Disability Phase I File.
Location 401 on the Disability Condition File reflects the code
for the best match for a given condition record. When a specific
source match field was coded as a 1, 3, or 5, a subset of the
detailed condition data from the Condition File was also
transferred to the Disability Phase I Person File. For many
analysts, this will make it unnecessary to use the detailed
Disability Condition File.
With two minor exceptions, the number of conditions per source in
the detailed Disability Phase 1 Condition File and the recoded
Disability Phase 1 Person file are identical for each code. For
the source First Condition Mentioned Which Causes Trouble With
Understanding or Communicating (location 446) there are 18 more
conditions with codes 1 and 3 on the Condition File than the
Person File. For Other Disorder (location 459), there is a
difference of one for code 3. These differences are due to
incomplete information.
Recodes
There are a limited number of recodes in these files; usually
they were added to summarize data in several locations.
Generally, the recodes are located close to the variables upon
which it was based. When a recode was related to several non-
contiguous vases, the recode was placed at the end of the
relevant section of the data file.
Response rate
The overall response for the 1994 NHIS-D was 87.0%. This
response rate was calculated as follows:
Household response rate from core (94.1%) multiplied by
92.5% who responded to the NHIS-D yielding an overall
response rate of 87.0%.
Weights
Because the NHIS uses a multistage sample design to represent the
civilian non-institutionalized population of the United States,
weights must be used to make accurate estimates from the NHIS
data. For the NHIS-D, a revised set of weights were calculated
to adjust for the additional non-response to the NHIS-D. The re-
weighting process was similar to the non-response adjustment for
the NHIS Core data and used the age-sex-race categories. The
health data from the Core was examined before re-weighting to
look for any evidence of bias due to differences in health status
between NHIS-D respondents and non-respondents; no significant
differences between the two groups were found. Because of this
re-weighting, the weights on the Phase I data files are different
than the corresponding weights on the Core data files.
There are three fields related to weighting on the Phase I files:
The Final Annual Basic Weight (location 207-212) will be used in
most analyses of the Disability Phase I Person File. This weight
should be used with the Disability data found in locations 401-
1660 as well as the person level variables in the beginning of
the file.
The Interim Basic Weight (before age-sex-race adjustment)
(location 201-206) is required by some software packages for
variance estimation for surveys with complex sample designs.
There are a number of computer programs that yield variance
estimates for data based on complex sample surveys. Some are
based on replication approaches and others are based on Taylor
linearization approaches. In addition to the Interim Basic
Weight, the Phase I files also include the Full Sample Stratum
Identifier (location. 188-190), the Pseudo Primary Sampling Unit
(PSU) Codes (Location. 198-200), and the Type of PSU (Location.
193) to provide the analyst the capability of using such variance
estimation procedures. These variables and weights are necessary
for directly calculating sampling variances.
The last weight field, the Chronic Condition Prevalence and
Incidence Factor (location 213-223 with an implied decimal) must
be used if analysts wish to match the Disability Phase I Person
File to the NHIS Core Condition File to make prevalence estimates
for the NHIS-D sample of the specific chronic conditions included
on one of the six condition lists in the Core questionnaire.
Again, this Factor field in the Disability file has been re-
weighted and differs from the same weight field on the NHIS
core. See below for more information on prevalence estimation
with the NHIS-D Phase I data.
Estimating annual numbers of events:
To reduce respondent error, the recall period for questions about
some events is limited to two weeks. These events are bed days,
work loss and school loss days, and doctor visits. The two week
variables are found in locations 98-107 and 120-121. Estimates
of the total number of occurrences of these events in the
population can be derived as follows:
Number of events x 26 (number of two week periods in a
year) x Final Annual Basic Weight
= Total number of events occurring in the population
during 1994.
Example: Number of bed days (Location. 100-101) x 26 x Final
Annual Basic Weight (Location. 207-212) = total number of
bed days reported for the population in 1994.
The recall period for information on hospitalizations is 12
months. However, in calculating the number of discharges
(Locations 132-133, 137-138), only discharges occurring in the
past six months are counted. Therefore, the weighted estimates
must be calculated as follows:
Number of discharges x 2 x Final Annual Basic Weight
= Total number of discharges occurring in the
population in 1994
Limitation in estimating prevalence of conditions
National prevalence estimates of conditions can be made in two
ways using the Disability Phase I Person File. Prevalence can be
estimated directly for the specific conditions listed in Section
B of the questionnaire (such as cerebral palsy and spina bifida)
using the Final Annual Basic Weight. Prevalence estimates can
also be made for the conditions found on any of the 6 condition
lists in the Core questionnaire. This would involve linking the
Phase I Person File to the Core Condition file and, as mentioned
above, the NHIS-D Chronic Condition Prevalence and Incidence
Factor would have to be used to make these estimates. It should
be noted that the Disability Phase I Condition File is NOT
intended to make national prevalence estimates of conditions
contained in that file. The purpose of this file is to provide
more detail on reported conditions for which there is some
specific or possible relevance to a source of disability.
Item non-response
Two different types of item non-response are possible in the data
files: responses of "don't know" or "refused" were assigned codes
of "9", "99", or "999"; when a question was not answered when it
should have been or the answer given was not possible, "Not
ascertained" was assigned (a code of "8", "98", or "998").
Linkable files
In addition to the files mentioned above, the following NHIS data
files exist for 1994.
For all the NHIS-D persons:
Access to health care
Health Insurance
Imputed Family Resources(scheduled for release in late 1996)
For a selected sample adult in each family:
Year 2000 Objectives (including environmental health,
tobacco, occupational safety and health, heart disease and
stroke, clinical and preventive services)
AIDS Knowledge and Attitudes
If an analyst matches the Disability Phase I data to the NHIS
Core files or other files with information on the entire NHIS-D
Phase I sample, the weights on the Disability files should be
used. However, if the analyst is matching to the sample adult
files listed above, the correct weight to use is the sample
person weight found on the Year 2000 or the AIDS file.
Guidelines for Citation of Data
With the goal of mutual benefit, the National Center for Health
Statistics (NCHS) requests that recipients of data files
cooperate in certain actions related to their use. Any
published material derived from the data should acknowledge NCHS
as the original source. The suggested citation to appear at the
bottom of all tables is as follows:
Source: National Center for Health Statistics (1994)
When cited in a bibliography, the citation should read:

Documentation, National Health Interview Survey of
Disability, Phase 1, 1994 (machine readable data file and
documentation), National Center for Health Statistics,
Hyattsville, Maryland.
The published material should also include a disclaimer that
credits any analyses, interpretations, or conclusions reached to
the author (recipient of the data file) and not to NCHS, which is
responsible only for the initial data. Consumers who wish to
publish a technical description of the data should make an effort
to insure that the description is not inconsistent with that
published by NCHS.

DIAGNOSTIC RECODE C
Chronic Conditions and Impairments
I. Purpose - Recode C consists of 134 3-digit categories
of chronic conditions and impairments. The categories
correspond to the conditions that appear on the six (6)
NHIS check-lists of selected chronic conditions. These
categories are used by NHIS to produce prevalence
estimates of selected chronic conditions.
II. Format and Content - The first digit of this 3-digit
recode identifies the specific chronic condition
check-list number, i.e., 1-6, that corresponds to the
number of the list used on the NHIS questionnaire.
The second and third digits are numbered sequentially
within each of the 6 lists. Each condition group
contains between 15 and 43 2-digit categories.
III. Definition of Chronic Condition and Impairment - In most
cases, a chronic condition or an impairment is any
departure from normal health with onset more than 3
months from date of interview. Certain chronic
conditions and impairments are classified as chronic,
however, regardless of date of onset. Complications of
pregnancy are always classified as acute. All chronic
conditions and impairments are counted whether or not they
necessitated activity restriction or medical care.
Impairments coded with an "X" in the first digit are, by
definition, chronic.
This recode is different from Chronic Condition Recode 3, used prior
to 1982.
